Are you saying there are issues with the current code in gnulib? Note the TZ issue in date(1) was added in coreutils-8.26 with: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.25-15-gdf88fce That was fixed with a minimal fix in coreutils-8.26 in Fedora. coreutils-8.27 will be released in a few days with a different fix that incorporated changes in parse_datetime in gnulib. thanks, Pádraig -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
